Okay, Nisarg is definitely using sign language. I’d thought so earlier. Since then, he’s signed “milk” a couple of times more. I’d been trying to get a video, but he does it rather absently, and when I approach with my phone in hand, he starts interacting with me, waving and sucking his fist. Finally, I… Read More »
Okay, its likely that I’m over reacting, but twice (for sure, and once unsure) since yesterday evening, we’ve seen Nisarg opening and closing his fist deliberately – the sign for milk. Both times I responded by offering to feed him, and he was hungry and fed well. I show him the baby signing time video… Read More »
Recently, a friend asked me about my fascination with the Brillkids softwares. Does it actually work? They ARE very expensive! The way I look at this is that the Brillkids softwares – both Little Reader and Little Math are tools. How effective they are depends on how well you use them. A committed parent could… Read More »
Okay, so your baby is still not crawling. Maybe he’s 5 months old, or just born….. we are all eager to see them crawl. Okay, the first thing to realize is that a newborn put on the mother’s stomach will crawl up to suckle (often, if not mostly). So crawling is not that big a… Read More »
Okay, so I’m on a roll with educational resources for babies. Another absolutely awesome resource dropped into my lap last week. A friend with a grown up baby gave me the first episode of – Its Baby Signing Time! The idea being that babies develop an awareness about their needs and desires long before they… Read More »
Research increasingly shows that the more information you make accessible to your baby, the faster he or she begins using it. This is particularly true when it comes to language and maths. Babies this age are more “right brained” – they need to be, if they have to learn to understand people, interaction and express… Read More »
Oooookay, I think we have cracked the clap code (though not actually clapped), which if you consider that Nisarg is not even 3 months yet, is pretty amazing. The little guy has figured out that its all about swinging his hands together, but doesn’t yet have the co-ordination to quite make them meet…. If you… Read More »
I had written earlier about how Nisarg was having problems with gas and diarrhoea and the doctor had prescribed Bonnisan. Then I wrote about how after just two days, Nisarg had normal baby poop for the first time in his life. Well…. half a month later, we haven’t had a single loose bowel movement yet,… Read More »
There is a wealth of information on right brain development in infants and how it can’t be started early enough and resources and all that. Like any other obsessed mother out there, I’m researching ways to entertain him in a manner that stimulates his development, and so far am doing pretty much exactly what came… Read More »
Is Nisarg teething? Everyone I shared this doubt with thinks I’m nuts. For one, he was born early. For another, he’s not even two months old yet. Its supposed to begin after four months and supposed to be even later for babies who come early. Since yesterday, he’s been fussy on and off for no… Read More »
